have you ever popped in the centre bit of a speaker and wanted to no how to get it back out? well here's the answer
there are 3 ways to do this

STEP 1: First Way
the first way you can do this is simply by using your mouth
all you do is put your mouth round the centre and suck in as hard as you can (this may take a few attemps)

STEP 2: Second Method
the second method requires some sellotape
first get your sellotape and cut about a inch and a half off
then stick it to the centre not leaving and part uncovered (leave a bit of sellotape for your fingers) and yank it as hard as you can this also may take a few attemps

STEP 3: Method 3
if by now your speaker is still stuck in then its very stubborn!
anyways what you will need for this step is a vaccum cleaner so this is reerly a last resort because you should have had it unpopped by the first step
what you do is(this one's obvious) find the right attachment to fit the bubble in the centre and set your vaccum to the highest suck it has, then turn it on and just place it over the bubble and just leave it until it comes out!
(this can also be done with a hairdryer)

BANDAIDS OMG. I tried tape and superglue and no result. I had no vacuum small enough either (computer speaker) so I saw your post and used a bandaid and BAM its out. Too bad I already bought the duck tape and super glue.

To repair it, un-pop the middle speker bubble (dust cap), I simply used my vacuum cleaner, it took a a little time, it doesn't just pop right out. You have to move the vacuum hose along the inserted part, and you will see it coming back to shape as you continue the suctioning on the speaker bubble.
Hope this helps guys!
